This is the penultimate written guide to the Battle of Gettysburg as far as I'm concerned. The only thing that comes closer to giving you a full description of what went on over those three fateful days in July would be a park ranger at Gettysburg. I highly recommend this as your battlefield guide!
The story of each battle in its entire campaign, includes photos, images, maps to tell the story.
